Coleman may be out for months

Seamus Coleman faces a potentially lengthy lay-off after scans revealed he has suffered ankle ligament damage. Coleman was forced off by a bad challenge from Carlos Marchena during last Friday's friendly against Villarreal. X-rays confirmed he had not fractured the joint but further scans have revealed the ligament damage but no timescale has been put on the 22-year-old's recovery.

Head physio Danny Donachie said: ''Seamus has torn the lateral ligament in his right ankle. He will be visiting a specialist in London later this week for further assessment.''
